The logic Kf of the modalities of finite, devised to capture the notion of 'there exists a finite number of accessible worlds
such that . . . is true', was introduced and axiomatized by Fattorosi. In this paper we enrich the logical framework of Kf: we give consistency properties and a tableau system (which yields the decidability) explicitly designed for Kf, and we introduce a shorter and more natural axiomatization. Moreover, we show the strong and suggestive relationship between Kf and the much older logic of the physical modalities of Burks.
